The circumstances of death are not very clear, but in a video, which we are not going to publish, you can see that he has been shot in the head. "What we know at the moment is that the Palestinian Minister of Health has reported that he is dead," they said in Al Jazeera himself.

Abu Akarrangi started working in Al Jazeera in the second era of the Intifada, and on social media many Palestinians have highlighted that he was one of the leading journalists, "the voice of the Palestinians."

Another Palestinian journalist was shot dead on Wednesday morning, according to the Minister of Health: Ali Samoudi. He works in the Quds newspaper, headquartered in Jerusalem, and his state of health is stable.

The journalists present have given direct testimony. At 6:30 a.m., a camper full of journalists arrives in Jenin. They knew that the Israeli army was going to do an operation there. By the time they arrived, there were Israeli snipers on rooftops occupying the place. When Abu Akarrangi leaves the car with the vest that PRESS said, they immediately shoot him in the head and stick him by the ear.

The head of the Al Jazeera office in Ramallah, Walid al-Omary, says that the Israeli army was reportedly operating without gunfire by Jenin and the Palestinians. The Israeli military has declared just the opposite: they have fired explosives and they have not started firing, they have ‘responded’. However, he adds that "the event is being investigated."

The Palestinians are manifesting their pain on social media. For example, the UK Palestinian ambassador, Husam Zomlot, has written:

"This morning the Israeli occupying forces murdered journalist Shireen Abu Akarrangi, who we wanted so much, while he was aware of his violence. He was one of the best journalists in Shire in Palestine and his great friend."
